“modern-day North American parallels with Babylon. Our cultural backdrop of access, alienation, and authority isn’t far removed from the spirit of Babylon nearly three millennia ago. At its worst, today’s western culture is indulgent, distracted, idol-following, and hedonistic. The time and place may be different, but the tension of living in-but-not-of lives describes the challenge for the faithful both then and now.”
